| singer-actor lance raymundo endorses and models the kalinga face masks |
SAGADA... THE CORDILLERAS... BENGUET PROVINCE... THE IFUGAOS... THE IGOROTS... THE KALINGA-APAYAOS.... AND OTHERS MORE.
When you suddenly remember these places and people, you would suddenly feel good and would want to escape the modern city and disposable outcomes...
When you suddenly remember the people who became a part of your life, some of those you loved, you would remember how embracing they are
How beautiful they are...
How artistic they are.
Igorot-Ifugao men you once loved
And taught you in a brief episode of your life, the hearts and souls of our unique and kind tribal people
You felt them, yeah, you did.
Their culture, their dances, their rituals, their tasks.
And now at the times of the Covid-19 health Pandemic,
their hand-woven facial masks, head bands, caps, etcetera are such a HIT.
So tempting to possess and buy.., so beautiful in designs.
They once became a topic in DZBB radio show...
And when you buy these products, you help tribal people, rice farmers, weavers, and others more who lives-up there in the Mountains of forever...
That they would continue to survive, preserve their culture and not go EXTINCT.
Because
deep within our hearts
lies the LEGACY of our ancestors
to help them move-on father
to
FOREVER.

TEXT BELOW, COURTESY OF MS. KAREN JANE SALUTAN, GRABBED FROM LANCE RAYMUNDO'S FB POST (ABOUT THE KALINGA-APAYAO FACE MASKS):
"Each Kalinga handwoven face mask design tells a story, a heritage, long hours of labor, our experiences about the generous and hospitable Kalinga people, their strong respect for culture and humanity and nature. The Kalinga handwoven face masks are not just durable but they will also help in saving the oceans.
The symbols of their textiles tell us stories of their ancestors and their everyday life. From farming, harvest, home life, bravery, royalty, rivers, flowers, stars, animals and mountain symbols, all of them pay homage to their environment, culture and ancestors. The color red symbolizes bravery while black represents the earth. Mountain symbols are embroidered in yellow that symbolizes wealth and fertility. Their weaves take time and attention. Each weave and design reminds us of the invested time, effort and reflection".
